[Woodie1]

You're right 41woodie. So far no real answer. I would think that originally the inside of doors weren't varnished, maybe some sealer applied. My concern comes more from the edges of the wood like the tailgate panel or the plywood panels on the doors. I had a new tailgate made as the old one was really bad. The new wood fits quite well between the frame & it came with all the screws in it holding everything together. I hate to try remove the plywood panel & have chip out where the screws are as they come out. I also have thin strips above the door openings which I can't believe would have had varnish on the surface where they screw to the long pieces running front to back on the body. I am getting a lot of good information though. I do like to drive our cars so I'm sure it would meet with frequent washings as well.
